Description

Earthlands has served as an Earth-based education facility and a retreat center for personal transformation programs for over 25 years. With its wide range of accommodations and amenities, the property has supported college and university courses; retreats for organizations and individuals; festive seasonal gatherings; conferences, trainings, and workshops. The Lodge is also home to the University of the Wild .

The goals of the land Trust are to remove the land from private ownership; assure that the programs will be financially sustainable; restructure the organization; improve the lodge and infrastructure; and assure the protection for the land for education, wildlife protection, and open space.

The Institute for Environmental Awareness, Inc. (IEA) founded in 1973 is the non-profit parent organization of the Earthlands Program Center and the University of the Wild . The new owner may become a partner of the IEA as a Sponsorship Program or as a Special Project. At least one member of the new ownership team would be a member of the IEA Board of Directors.

Bill Pfeiffer is the founder and director of Sacred Earth Network (SEN). SEN has been implementing leading edge visions for almost 20 years. Bill has made Russia a “second home” having traveled there 34 times in the last 15 years–giving him a rare cross-cultural perspective. He has 20 years of experience in re-evaluation counseling and Vipassana meditation, and has undergone extensive training with Siberian shamans as well as with Joanna Macy and John Perkins.
